I never even laid eyes on Whitney Houston in person, but her death has hit me hard. Both Monica and Brandy have ALWAYS talked about how much they idolized Whitney, so I know this was tough for them to deal with. I was just talking to my sister yesterday and mentioned that Monica is the closest thing to a Whitney this generation will get. In my Whitney tribute, I posted the "Shoop" video that they discussed. In it, Whitney spoke on how great of of a singer Monica was.
Just cause I'm slick nosey, I'm curious about what that letter said. If I were Brandy, I wouldn't share it with the world either.

Monica & Brandy Speak On Whitney's Life & Legacy
Funeral Arrangements For Whitney Houston
Funeral arrangements for the great Whitney Houston have been made and will be held in her hometown of Newark, New Jersey. Her remains were flown back to Newark on Tyler Perry's private plane.
Her family is planning a wake on Thursday and her funeral will be held on Friday at Newark's Prudential Center. This arena holds around 20,000 and is used for concerts and NBA games. I'll give more info as it is provided.
UPDATE: The Mayor of Newark stated that the city will NOT have a public memorial for Whitney. The family will however have a private funeral this Saturday at New Hope Baptist Church.

Heavy D..Cause Of Death Revealed
Details in the death of rapper Heavy D. have finally been released.
Heavy D died from a pulmonary embolism caused by deep leg vein thrombosis ... and a long flight back to L.A. from a Michael Jackson memorial concert may have been a contributing factor.
A pulmonary embolism is a blockage of one or more arteries in the lungs -- most often caused by blood clots which travel in from other parts of he body. In Heavy's case, the clot was formed in his legs.
Days before Heavy died, he was on a flight back from Europe, after performing at the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Wales.
Officials from the L.A. County Coroner's Office say Heavy also suffered from heart disease, which could have been a contributing factor in his death.
The Coroner's Office has classified the death as "natural."
As TMZ first reported, Heavy died on November 9, 2011. He was 44-years-old.
Deep leg vein thrombosis is often associated with long plane flights, in which a clot can form due to prolonged immobility.

10 Years Later... Remembering Aaliyah!
It doesn't seem real that today makes 10 years that R&B artist Aaliyah has been gone. She was such a beautiful and talented young woman. Aaliyah was only 22 years old at the time of her death and her career was really starting to take off. She was headed back to the U.S. from the Bahamas where she shot her last music video when her plane crashed killing her and 7 others. Check out these moments from the video shoot for "Rock The Boat". For me, watching this made me smile and cringe all at the same time. I smiled because she looked so happy, she was doing something she loved and surrounded by people that she cared about. I cringed because it makes me realize (even more) that you can be here today and gone tomorrow. Hell, here now and gone in the next minute. I couldnt add the videos, so I just posted the links. Check em' out.

RIP Aaliyah...
Today marks the 9th anniversary of the death of the beautiful and talented, Aaliyah. Yesterday, for some reason I was online for about an hour looking up videos of Latin artist Selena who was killed back in 1995 at the age of 23. While watching interviews and reading things on her, I started to think of Aaliyah. Both of these young ladies were successful but their lives were cut short just when they were about to really hit it BIG! We still get to hear her music and watch her music videos (that was another dancing lil lady), but we rarely get to see any of her interviews anymore. Last year on the anniversary of her death I posted some of my favorite music videos from her, this year I wanted to post more interview videos. She seemed to be a really sweet chick. This first video is her visiting 106&Park, this was her very last interview.
Hearing her talk about heading out to film the "Rock the Boat" video gave me chills.
Check this link to see a cute blooper video from MTV Jams
Since "One In A Million" is my all time FAVORITE SONG EVER, I had to give y'all this one!

I watched her "MTV Stripped" episode last year and enjoyed it. It's pretty long but I thought I'd share it with you guys anyway.
The making of "Rock the Boat"
Of course you know I had to at least post her last video, which was shot hours before her death...
She was laid to rest beautifully...
Rest In Peace, Aaliyah!! You are missed! More Dish!
